From the recording THE STARS DON’T CRY
The story of “The Stars Don’t Cry” revolves around divine visitations based on “Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul,” by Jane Roberts dictated to her husband from 1963 to 1984, first published in the late 1960s. Jane Roberts claimed the words were spoken by a discarnate spirit named Seth. Seth’s idea that, through our thoughts and beliefs, we create our own reality has affected millions of people around the globe. One can reach his or her highest potential, according to Seth, by accessing and using the tremendous source of joy, power and wisdom that lies within.
The song also alludes to the Native American legends of the Star People, telling stories of contacts between American Indians and ancestors who came from the sky, bringing rain, abundant crops, and most importantly, joy to the indigenous people. Clifford Mahooty, a Zuni elder and member of the Kachina Society, reveals that “any Indian tribe and other Aboriginal groups have a direct connection with what we term “the Star People,” and we are also connected with the whole Universal system,” thus reminding us that humans have had mystical experiences since the dawn of civilization. From this perspective, “The Stars Don’t Cry” represents a poignant tribute to humanity, through the lens of a Native American sensibility that lifts our spirits and helps reconnect with the wisdom of the Universe.—Diana Guber, “Ah, Don’t You Know?” 2020.
Lyrics
“THE STARS DON’T CRY”
Lyrics by Diana Guber
Each Coming Night Full of Mysteries
A Stranger Brings Messages Divine
Speaks to Me of Ancient Histories
Sending Sparks Up My Trembling Spine
Though The Waves of Doubts And Fears
Seem The Strongest Within Me At Times
The Cosmic Stranger Dispels My Tears
I’m Now Singing Blissful Rhymes
Ah, Don’t You Know, The Stars Don’t Cry?
They Sing And Dance Up In The Sky
Ah, Don’t You Know, Without Our Ears
We Can Hear The Music of The Spheres
Rather Than Drowning in Painful Tears
Ah, Don’t You Know, We’re Pure Light?
Our Hearts Are Glowing Day And Night
Ah, Don’t You Know, How Blessed We Are
In Our Vibrant Thoughts, We Travel Far
Beyond The Light of a Wandering Star
Loosing Myself in a Stream of Thoughts
The Spotlight I’m Now Hiding From
Dark Memories [‘re] Strongly Tied in Knots
But I Can’t Hide What I’ve Become
Though I’ve Never Felt Like This Before
Can’t Ignore The Soul Call
The Cosmic Stranger Showed Me The Door
And Who I Am Underneath It All
Ah, Don’t You Know, The Stars Don’t Cry?
They Sing And Dance Up In The Sky
Ah, Don’t You Know, Without Our Ears
We Can Hear The Music of The Spheres
Rather Than Drowning in Painful Tears
Ah, Don’t You Know, We’re Pure Light?
Our Hearts Are Glowing Day And Night
Ah, Don’t You Know, How Blessed We Are
In Our Vibrant Thoughts, We Travel Far
Beyond The Light of a Wandering Star
No, I Won’t Believe It
[That] Tears I Can’t Fight
Eventually All Shadows
Fade In The Sunlight
No, I Won’t Believe It
[That] Winters Linger Long
A Dark Night of The Soul’s
Followed By The Dawn
Ah, Don’t You Know, The Stars Don’t Cry?
They Sing And Dance Up In The Sky
Ah, Don’t You Know, Without Our Ears
We Can Hear The Music of The Spheres
Rather Than Drowning in Painful Tears
Ah, Don’t You Know, We’re Pure Light?
Our Hearts Are Glowing Day And Night
Ah, Don’t You Know, How Blessed We Are
In Our Vibrant Thoughts, We Travel Far
Beyond The Light of a Wandering Star
C’est Fini
